Nettle Soup

The softest rose petal becomes stinging nettle
With each day that's left, you learn how to settle
With the ghosts that surround you
And the darkness that's found you

But don't you remember when days lasted lifetimes
And nights were just guests who fled in the morning?
Another life open and lying before you

And oh, my kids, don't waste your time
Because it passes so quickly, and you might find
You must grasp that nettle, though it may sting
The pain's as important as anything
And oh, my kids, don't waste your time

I will shoulder the burden
I will carry the load
I will shoulder the burden
I will carry the load
I will shoulder the burden
I will carry the load
I will shoulder the burden
I will carry the load
IwillshouldertheburdenIwillcarrytheload
IwillshouldertheburdenIwillcarrytheload
IwillshouldertheburdenIwillcarrytheload
IwillshouldertheburdenIwillcarrytheload
IwillshouldertheburdenIwillcarrytheload
IwillshouldertheburdenIwillcarrytheload

There's a sickness among us, that's spreading between us
Like wind through the trees
A soft, silent footprint that's keeping us stupid
This sleepy disease

But if you could wake up where days lasted lifetimes
And nights where just guest, would ye be quick?
For rose petals, once turned into nettles
Are all you'll have left

And oh, my kids, don't waste your time
Because it passes so quickly, and you might find
You must grasp that nettle, though it may sting
The pain's as important as anything
And oh, my kids, don't waste your time
